Enjoying Provence's weather... cigales, pastis and pétanque are the french words of the day ;)

Leave Yahoo, join Notifixious

There is no day without the anouncement of an top exec or VP leaving Yahoo!. Of course, everyone complains and says that they’ll be missed at Yahoo! Individually, yes, maybe, but collectively, it’s not that sure!

If Yahoo! is where it is today, it’s not only because of Jerry Yang. He joined a year ago because Yahoo! was already in trouble… dominated by Google and forced to buy tons of early stage start-up (Flickr, delicious…)  because they lost their “innovative” spirit and feared that any of them would beat them on specific products. 

Let’s face it, collectively, Yahoo’s management failed in the last 5 years and, more than never, they need some “fresh air”, new ideas, new challenges and, of course, new people

I don’t know what’s going to happen at Yahoo! and if it will “survive” its massive exodus, but I know that if nothing had changed, Yahoo! would have probably been “dead” within 2 years. 

Anyway, if you’re not sure you want to stay at Yahoo!, take the opportunity to join a very ambitious startup : Notifixious. We’re looking for top developers with strong knowledge of Ruby On Rails, Jabber (XMPP), or Amazon’s AWS! And, hey, it’s bootstrapped and we plan on raising funds very soon, so your options here will be worth more that the one you received at Yahoo! last year ;-)
